An odd observation...

[APaladinsHeart]

Hello all,
It has been a long time since I have browsed through these pages. I felt the need after making an interesting observation today. I realized that I have not attended a single wedding I have been invited to since the passing of my wife 4 years ago. Funerals and graduations sure not a problem, but weddings not happening.
It is not an intentional avoidance of weddings, but why would I not want to attend and support people I know?

The only I answer I have been able to get to today is that I don't believe I will find that again. That I had my shot and often times failed. This I also know to be the words of the Enemy...

Anyone else struggle in this way?

Hello APaladinsHeart, Sorry for your great loss.Just because it has been four years I find that there is a place in our hearts that remain very tender to our former life with our spouses.Of course I have only been widowed 10 months in a week.Weddings are of course a time and place of marriage between two people in love.I do not find it strange after four years of your DW passing that you can't do weddings.That is maybe an area you will have to conquer in your heart by going.Personally I just see a wedding on t. v. and cry.That was our life which does not exist any longer,and frankly it is difficult to realize this.So this is just my opinion perhaps others will give you more insight as some have traveled this road longer than I.

Also you are at a young enough age to remarry and can have many years together.Ask the Lord about the wedding issue also.He can give you wisdom.The enemy can shoot the arrows after you are down I found.We do know his devices though.We have all failed some where.Just receive the love of our Father as he is ALWAYS there.So faithful so kind.

Peace

Hi, I absolutely know how you feel. I've often thought that I won't find love again. But on the other hand and more recently, I have hope that someone like myself may find love, if I'm reading scripture correctly!

I think that there is now a knowledge that makes it hard to hear the words "til death do you part". When you get married, you assume that this will be a million years in the future. When you are widowed, those words seem to take on an entirely new meaning...
